Crossbow, the broad steel bow stamped with the maker's marks; bow-string of twisted cord; moulded steel loop at the top. The bow is bound to the stock with steel bands; beneath, a rivet with a heart-shaped head.

Long, straight stock or tiller of plain walnut inlaid with a few small plaques of antler engraved with quatrefoils; steel trigger, trigger-guard and lugs. Their proximity to the nut indicates that it was meant to be spanned by a goat's-foot lever, not a cranequin (no. 1327). The nut is of ivory with a steel face. A hole on top of the stock, two inches in front of the nut, was used to set the tumbler which connected the nut with the gun-type trigger.
